PlanB Swaps BTC for ETFs – No More Private Keys! 🗝
Famous trader PlanB has moved all his BTC into ETFs, saying it’s just more convenient—no more dealing with private keys.
"Not your keys, not your coins"? Guess he's not a maxi anymore. 🤷♂️
But let’s be honest—after sinking his yacht (and BTC wallet) in 2023, maybe self-custody just wasn’t his thing. ⛵️💀

📉 Solana Drops 40%—Blame Trump’s Memecoins?
SOL has plummeted nearly 40% in the past month, with its ATH of $295 coinciding with the launch of Trump’s $TRUMP & $MELANIA memecoins on Jan 17 & 19. 🇺🇸💰
As SOL’s price dipped, so did trader activity—weekly DEX volume fell 25%, and Raydium’s volume nearly halved, now lagging behind BNB Chain’s PancakeSwap.
So, was this a memecoin-induced sell-off, or is Solana just catching its breath? 🤔🔥

🇺🇸🇦🇷 Trump & Milei’s "Presidential Tokens" vs. Bukele’s Bitcoin Play
Spot the difference:
🚀 Bukele: Buys Bitcoin, holds like a Chad. 💎🙌
📉 Trump & Milei: Launch "presidential" tokens, watch them pump & dump. 🥴
One bets on decentralized money, the others on name-brand Ponzi schemes.
Anonymous devs delivering real projects > politicians launching memecoins. 😆🔥

FTX Moves 1 BTC—Payouts Incoming? 💵
A 1 BTC transaction was spotted from an FTX-linked address, likely a test transfer ahead of the scheduled February 18 repayments. 💰
Could this mean creditors are finally getting their funds? 🤔

📉 Bitcoin ETFs See $650M in Outflows
After six straight weeks of inflows, Bitcoin ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, and others saw their second-largest weekly outflow of $651.8M, while BTC’s price remained stable. 👀
For context:
🔹 In January, ETF inflows hit $2B, pushing BTC to a new ATH of $109K 📈
🔹 The largest outflow ever was in Sept 2024—over $700M, causing BTC to drop 10% 📉
Despite the pullback, spot ETFs continue to give traditional investors access to BTC, fueling demand in 2024. Is this just a cool-off before the next leg up? 🤔🔥

💸 FTX Payouts Start Today – Solana Already Down 10%!
FTX is beginning repayments to users with losses under $50K, distributing a total of $16B over the next few months.
But here’s the catch: Payouts are based on 2022 bottom prices:
⚡️ 1 BTC? You get $20K, not $100K or 1 BTC 💀
⚡️ ETH holders lucked out—price barely changed 😂
🔥 Solana holders didn’t wait—with $1.8B in SOL set to hit the market on March 1, they’ve already started dumping. $SOL is down 10% in 24h!
Brace for more volatility. 🚀📉

📉 ETH Reserves on Exchanges Hit 9-Year Low – Supply Shock Incoming?
Ethereum on exchanges has dropped to 18.95M ETH, the lowest since 2016, signaling a possible supply squeeze. Less ETH available + strong demand = 🚀?
💡 What’s happening?
🔹 Investors are moving ETH to cold storage (bullish sign)
🔹 If ETH breaks $2,800, over $822M in short positions get liquidated 📈
🔹 A potential Ethereum staking ETF could further tighten supply
So, is ETH about to pump? Or is it just another hopium overdose? 🤔🔥

📊 BTC Buy-In Levels by Investor Groups – CryptoQuant
CryptoQuant analyzed the average BTC purchase prices across key investor categories:
🔹 Funds & Custodians: $89K
🔹 Binance Traders: $59K
🔹 Public Miners: $57K
🔹 Old Whales: $25K
💡 The data raises questions—CryptoQuant’s methodology remains unclear. The CEO admitted Binance trader prices are based on deposit addresses, but the criteria for old whales and mining firms weren’t disclosed.
📉 Historically, when BTC dropped below miners' cost basis (May 2022, March 2020, Nov 2018), bear markets followed. However, CryptoQuant’s CEO doesn’t see a bear phase in 2025, even if BTC falls 30% from ATH (e.g., $110K → $77K).
🔍 Takeaway? Some overpaid, some got in cheap—but the long-term bet is still on BTC’s growth. 🚀

📊 Bitcoin’s price movement is raising suspicions of market manipulation. 👀
Despite billions in institutional inflows, Bitcoin has been range-bound between $92,400 and $106,500 for over two months. 📈📉
Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, suggests the price action appears "manufactured," noting that the tight range doesn't seem natural. 🤔
Mow attributes the stagnation to "price suppression," where steady upward movement is followed by sideways consolidation.
Despite the lack of upside, Bitcoin’s long-term outlook remains positive, with predictions of prices reaching $160,000–$180,000 in 2025. 🚀
However, Mow warns that continued price suppression may be linked to significant selling at the margins. 🧐
